Kommentar/Beschreibung

This seminar provides students working on their final thesis with a forum to present their research plans, report on the progress of their work, and discuss research-related questions relevant to their theses. The class aims at supporting students in developing their initial ideas, improving the design of their projects, and exploring further ramifications of their respective topics. The format chosen for this class creates opportunities to exchange ideas with other students and faculty members, and allows students to practice their presentation skills in a friendly and supportive academic setting. We will begin with an overview of how to write a BA/MA Thesis or a Wiss. Hausarbeit (Staatsexamen) - e.g., the general structure of such a project, possible citation styles, etc. - and then examine several research tools that may be helpful for the respective projects. I will also present one of my current research areas - "Birds in American Literature and Culture" - and we will read short texts about birds (e.g., poems, advertisements, cartoons) and look at photographs of birds in order to obtain a better understanding of the research possibilities in this rich "Forschungsgebiet".

Further details will be announced during the first session.
